Police have taken cognisance of JU students’ social media posts, including photographs, which suggest there was an element of sexual harassment in the ragging of the deceased. “He was definitely tormented by the boarders. There can be some passive sexual harassment. We are probing the matter,” a senior police officer said.
“A second-year Economics student from Bankura and a Sociology student from Hooghly were arrested on Sunday. Both are boarders from the same hostel and were present when Kundu allegedly fell,” the officer said. “A former student of the university, who was staying at the hostel, was nabbed on Friday,” he added.
